Mrs. Christy was one of the brightest, most loving souls you could ever meet. Her smile was contagious.  She loved her husband Dewayne with all her heart. She cherished all their travels and many adventures together.  Her son Billy was her heart. She loved him and his family beyond measure. She was so proud of him. Her grandchildren were her pride and joy.  She loved her huge family. She always called them "so precious" to her. She always had so many wonderful stories to tell about her brothers and sisters and their time growing up. She believed in the Lord and knew where she was going when her time was over here on Earth. She loved her Lord. Her Flowers were something she took so much pride in. There is no doubt that Heaven will have one more beautiful flower garden now.

In lieu of flowers the family asks that donations be made to the American Cancer Society.
